Now we're talking :-)  Do you have UDA50's or must you go via the HSCs?  
In that case I hope you have CI780's, otherwise it will be terrible 
slow.  If not it will be just ordinary slow.

UDA50's are not the fastest creatures either, IIRC the fastest disks for 
the 780's were non-interleaved RP07.  That disk OTOH required 3-phase 
380V 32A, even though i think it had Y-D startup.
